Chapter 376 The Mystery of the Japanese Pirate's Treasure
"No matter how poor a place is, there will still be a gap between the rich and the poor, and there will still be rich people." Wu Youwei said: "Besides, if there is no Wa Kingdom, there will be Annan, Chenla, Sulu, Boni, and Siam. Even Java, Tianzhu. The world is so big, money is everywhere
"Oh?" Wantong was a little confused. He actually didn't really understand this way of making money.
"Of course!" Wu Youwei waved his fist into the air: "Since there are money everywhere, then of course I, Da Ming, earned the money!"
Daming is still the country with the most advanced technology in the world, and at this time, Columbus is not known to have been born. If Daming has money, the soldiers will have a good salary, the imperial treasury will be full, and then vigorously develop military equipment.
With gold in one hand and bombs in the other, if you don’t believe it, you won’t be able to survive!
It is better than letting the Manchus enter the customs a few hundred years later, and it is better than being called "pig heads" later.
It is impossible to close the country to the outside world. Although it means that the dynasty is closed to the outside world at this time, but it has only been closed for more than a hundred years. With hard work, it is still possible. It is better than being closed to the country for hundreds of years.
Especially at this time, matchlock guns appeared outside, and there were no flintlock muskets more than a hundred years ago, but Wu Youwei had already designed a breech-loading gun. advantage to build a mighty empire.
And, open its eyes, let it see how vast the outside world is.
The two of them didn't do anything, they just fell asleep clinging to each other. After they went out the next day, Liu Ju looked at them and frowned. Why...does it feel weird?
The army came back, and the whole county was celebrating. Several people sat and chatted together. Wantong and the others told more comprehensively than the scouts.
They did find a lot of pirates' treasures, and they were indeed very valuable, but would it dazzle people's eyes if they took out the income?
"It's dazzling to the eyes." Zhang Shen said: "Also let them shut up. They all say that the emperor's formation of the navy is militaristic. Let's see if it is true this time! And the emperor's establishment of the navy was done by himself. The money, the navy has received...
Everyone's eyes are bright!
Although it is said that the money given by the emperor is money, it is not justified after all; if the military department of the imperial court can contribute money, it is naturally much better than the emperor himself.
After all, it is impossible for an individual to compare with the whole world!
The emperor has cooperated with Wu Youwei to open a restaurant all these years for the sake of money, how short of money must he be!
So these people decided to send these gold and silver treasures back with great fanfare, and they were greedy to death the gang of people in the court.
Wantong and the others have a record book, of course, those who are under the ignorance are not there, there are records on it, but if there is a record, there must be a real thing.
For example, a golden Buddha that is one meter high and weighs thirty catties, and a half-meter-high gold plate inlaid with various gemstones.
For example, a Venus coral tree with a height of two meters is the kind of coral tree with a golden sand color.
There must be something like this.
The rare treasures of the world are nothing more than that.
But when Wu Youwei was halfway through the page, he asked a question: "This is the treasure of pirates, Japanese pirates...doesn't anyone use this to buy their lives?"
Everyone was stunned.
Before going to sea, they also brought a translator, oh, it means ancient translation.
There are quite a few interpreters who can speak Japanese, because they went to Champa, and there were as many as three interpreters who could speak Champa and the Annan language.
There are twelve people in the interpreting team.
There are six Japanese translators, three Champa translators, two Annan translators, and one who can speak three foreign languages.
"That's right!" Zhou Zhong was stunned: "At that time, those Japanese pirates also begged for mercy, but no one said where their treasures were hidden?"
The interpreter asked, but all the captured pirates shook their heads.
"Didn't they ever rob?" Wu Youwei understood why the Japanese pirates had no "treasure" when he thought about it, but he couldn't say it clearly, but he could let Wantong and the others discover it by themselves.
Because now the Wa country is not under the eyes of Da Ming, but the Wa country regards Daming as a granary. If something is missing, someone will come and rob it in Daming. Where is Daming?
Wantong looked at Wu Youwei, understood what he meant, and said, "That's right, at that time, if you don't say it, you're dead, but if you say it, you have a chance to live, isn't that what all the pirates do? How come the Japanese pirates, no one said that
Liu Ju thought, isn't it!
"Then what do they mean?" Liu Ju asked suspiciously: "It's a matter of life and death, how can you risk your life for money?
"Doesn't that make sense?" Zhou Zhong said, "I lost my life and kept my money, especially for Japanese pirates like them. Isn't everything hidden somewhere on an uninhabited island?"
"Unless..." Liu Ju narrowed his eyes: "They left it for their own people.
"My own people?" Wantong shook his head: "What do you leave for your own people? What kind of people do you have to be? In order to let them lose their lives and protect them from being known by us?"
When they go to take the pirate's treasure, it's not that they haven't met someone who guards the treasure....The nature of the pirates makes them cruel to others and even more cruel to their own people.
And it's all the days of licking blood with the knife head, who can shed blood for others like that, just for that little money?
"Then it can only be their family members." Zhang Shen guessed: "It's just that they came out to do this, and they brought their family members with them?"
It doesn't seem like something people like them can do to take care of their families?
"Perhaps they were sent back?" Liu Juyi clenched his fists: "Yes! They were sent back! When they were sent back home, where is their hiding place safe?"
"That's right!" Zhang Shen suddenly realized: "Anyway, no one went to Japan to investigate them."
"It's not like I didn't ask before, and the people in the Japanese country said that they were also victims, and those Japanese pirates are also rampant in their own country, so they are all fools!" Zhou Zhong said angrily: "Cooperating with them, they know everything. Also take the things that the Japanese pirates robbed...
The way he gritted his teeth was really furious.
The original joy has been much less, and more is the anger of being played by the Japanese pirates and the Japanese country.
Wantong said calmly: "Everyone, don't be angry. When you submit the memorial, you should mention this matter to the emperor. The Japanese pirates are from the Japanese country, but the Japanese country says that they were also harassed by the Japanese pirates. This is a matter between countries. It must be done by the emperor." Make a decision." If it was a general military matter, Wantong would have led people to fight it, but it can't work now, the Wa Kingdom is also a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, although it has not paid tribute for many years.It is not up to them to decide if it is involved between countries.
However, as eunuchs, both Zhang Shen and Zhou Zhong were loyal servants of the royal family, and they would file complaints in their respective replies to Emperor Xianzong later.
Wantong thought that what he said was serious, but the letter of complaint written by the two was even more serious.
The first day Wantong came back, he wrote letters to his elder sister, then to his elder brother, and then to his son's family in his own name...
It is Feng Qi who painted Fu H and his wife
Unified regulations, two old Wang Lang style, left stone symmetrical, Jia old is the king's hall.
From front to back, from south to north, the central axis is the porch, foyer, sedan chair hall, main hall, head room, patio, second hall, and tail room.
On the left side of the front part between the two sides is the study room and a small courtyard, and on the right side is the side hall and two guest rooms.
The top of the guest room is a flat terrace, which is used for enjoying the cool, admiring the moon and worshiping the moon.
On the right side of the hall and behind the guest room are three bedrooms, three servant rooms, and a kitchen.
The same layout is behind the study on the left.
There is a patio in the middle of the bedroom, and an alley for people and cars to the side.
This design has a small patio with a large depth and a compact layout, which is not only convenient for heat radiation and wind and rain protection, but also can ventilate and dissipate heat. It is just right for a family to live in.
The courtyard designed by Wu Youwei is large, and the distance between the houses is wide enough to pass a small carriage.
Of course, the design is good and the asking price is high. Such a house already costs more than 5000 taels.
In fact, the cost is only 1000 taels, including materials and labor costs.
That's more than four times the profit
The house in the capital is nothing more than this.
It's just that Wu Youwei's design is good, there are both water and sewage, clean, tidy, and no peculiar smell.
That's why it's even more exciting.
Wu Youwei made some statistics, and this time he could make a lot of money. He decided to recruit more security talents for Shanghai County.
Wantong and Liu Ju didn't know what they said, anyway, Liu Ju brought people to personally escort the huge sum of money, and set off six days after returning.
"So fast?" Wu Youwei said: "As soon as he left, he also took away the Fenwu Camp. Now the pirates and pirates are coming again."
"I won't come again." Wantong shook his head: "When we came back, we met a lot, and all of them... were wiped out.
So even if there are landings this year, the number is not comparable to last year.
"Oh? This is very good!" Wu Youwei was happy: "Then let Mr. Liu go."
"He's escorting so many things, he can take 1 horses with him." Wan Tao said, "It's safer to go back this way."
Ten thousand elite escorts, who dares to reach out here?
Liu Ju left with Zhou Zhong. Before leaving, he also brought a lot of grenades. Compared with grenades, grenades are more practical.
After they left, Wantong took people on a cruise in the coastal waters, guarding against pirates and Japanese pirates every day.
In the past, they hid in the city and defended against the high walls of the city, but now the circle of defense has been extended to the sea, and fishermen will no longer be afraid to go to sea because of pirates and Japanese pirates.
Although it can only be in the sea, it is better than not being able to enter the water!
The seafood caught can be consumed by the entire Shanghai County.
At the same time, Wu Youwei also asked people to start training the policemen.
Shanghai County was developing, and the news of Wantong's return was quickly transmitted to Beijing through Jinyiwei's special channel.
The first thing that arrived was naturally the letter from home.
Emperor Xianzong took Wantong's family letter and sent it to Zhaode Palace in person. As soon as he came in, he smiled at Wan Zhen'er: "I said before that he is fine, you are just worrying about it."
Concubine Wan Gui had already got the news, and immediately stood up when she heard that he was coming: "Then I'm just worried.
After finishing speaking, he grabbed the letterhead from Emperor Xianzong's hand and opened it: "Well, it's Zhongming's handwriting.
Wantong sent greetings to the elder sister, the two princesses, and the eldest son of the emperor in the letter, saying that he worried her when he was outside, but everything was fine and he came back.
He also said that he got some good things outside, and he has sent them back, and he will ask the elder sister to have a look at them later.
He also said that he was fat when he went to sea, because there were not many vegetables on the boat, all of them were meat!
Say the sea, the huge sea fish in the sea and so on.
They were all deceitful words, but they couldn't help Concubine Wan Gui liked them.
Emperor Xianzong came out to the Imperial Study Room after coaxing Wan Zhen'er to read the letter from Zhang Shen and the others.
Such a thick letter, and such a thick memorial.
Emperor Xianzong was okay when he first watched it, but he became excited when he saw it later. Others may exaggerate, but Wantong doesn't. He knows Liu Ju, and he is loyal to him just like Liu Yongcheng... ...
